LAW OF CRIME - 1
d) Forfeiture of property
e) Fine.
Death.
Capital punishment is the harshest of discipline endorsed in
the Indian Penal
Code, which includes the legal murdering or ending the life of
the blamed as a
frame for discipline. The question of whether the state has
the right to take the
life of a person, however, gruesome the offence he may have
committed, has
always been or contested issue between moralists who feel that
the death
sentence is required as a deterrent measure and the
progressies who argue that
judicial taking of life is nothing else but court mandated
murder. The following
are the offences for which a sentence of death may be passed.
Waging or attempting to wage war or abetting the waging of
war against
Government of India (S. 121).
Abetment of mutiny actually committed (S.132).
Giving or fabricating false evidence upon which innocent
person suffers
death (S.194).
Murder (S.302).
Punishment for murder by lifer (S.303).
Abetment of suicide of a child, insane or intoxicated person
(S.305).
Abetment to murder by a person under sentence of
imprisonment for
life; if hurt is caused (S.307).
Dacoity with murder (S.396).
Before 1955, the words “transportation for life” was used. The
Code of
Criminal Procedure Amendment Act, 1955 (Act No. 26 of 1955)
substituted the
words “Imprisonment for life” in place of “transportation for
life”. The
punishment of the Imprisonment for Life means imprisonment for
the whole of
the remaining period of the convicted person‟s natural life.
Imprisonment.
Fine.
Judicial notice can be taken of the fact that the law and
order situation in India
has not improved since 1967 but has deteriorated over the
years and is fast
worsening today. It was also observed that the method of
execution of capital
punishment by hanging is scientific and is one of the least
painful methods and
so no other method seems to be warranted.
